A conceptual model was developed for the study of turbulent flame propagation comparison of measured apparent turbulent-flame-propagation speeds with limit curves derived on the basis of this model indicated the importance of rate augmentation within the turbulent flame structure. Spectral changes observed in the thermal structure of premixed methane-air V-flames stabilized behind a cylindrical flameholder indeed showed the existance of reaction-augmented turbulence in the smaller eddies, which...

The goals of the GaAs High Efficiency Solar Panel Program were to demonstrate experimentally that space cells with efficiencies of 16% or better can be consistently produced. In developing the cells, fabrication processes were to be streamlined and perfected so cells are readily producible in large quantities. All the goals of the program were met in that the process for growing cells with efficiencies greater than 16% was fully developed. Cells with efficiencies greater than 18% were produced....

A series of tests were conducted to establish the nonpropagation distances between various subcomponents and assemblies of the 105-mm HEAT-T cartridges M456. Five simulated loading line configurations were initially considered for testing: M83 primers, M148 cartridge cases, M456 projectiles, and M456 cartridges vertically and horizontally oriented. This effort was in direct support of the modernization of the Milan Army Ammunition Plant, Milan, Tennessee, but it is applicable to other similar...

Simple closed form expressions have been found to accurately predict the fatigue life of structures subjected to sinusoidal or random stresses where the applied stress and the material's strength are simultaneous random variables. With appropriate parameter value changes the same equations accurately apply to both the low cycle (inelastic) and high cycle (elastic) fatigue regions. These equations are in familiar engineering terms. Comparisons between analytical predictions and empirical results...

As part of its research on the phenomenon of terrorism, The Rand Corporation has maintained a chronology of incidents of international terrorism. This chronology, now consisting of approximately 1,400 incidents that have occurred since 1968, provides a useful historical record and a data base for analysis. The takeover of the American embassy in Teheran in November 1979, and of the Dominican Republic's embassy in Bogota in February 1980, prompted a review of this particular terrorist tactic for...

A program using digital correlation techniques has been implemented on the Digital Image Analysis Laboratory (DIAL) to automatically extract elevation type data from stereoscopic pairs of digital images. The DIAL permits the operator to view on a display unit the stereoscopic model and the computed match-point coordinates in 3-D using anaglyphic techniques. The match points are presented as 3-D profiles superimposed over the 3-D terrain model and consequently the operators can observe the...

A computer program was used to calculate the radial distribution of flow parameters in an axial compressor stage designed to have a symmetrical velocity diagram at the mean radius and particular variations of reaction from hub to tip. Uniform energy addition was assumed to occur in the rotor. Both cases of uniform enthalpy and uniform radial enthalpy gradient at the entrance to the stage were considered. Advantages were found in the selection of fully symmetric blading and in the use of the...

This report is an investigation of the fault diagnosis algorithm attributed to Dr. Ruey-wen Liu at the University of Notre Dame. This approach is based on a faulty current concept in which a faulty component is modelled as a nominal component with a parallel fault current source. Since component faults trace a line in a measurement space as the fault current source takes on different values. Measurements take on a sample circuit from a point in the measurement space. The origin of the...

On 22 July 1983 a dozen reinforced concrete buildings, built in 1954 at Sondrestrom Air Base in Greenland, were examined to determine why their concrete wall panels were cracked, spalled and rust stained. The investigation determined that structural and thermal movements caused most of this deterioration. Very little freeze-thaw deterioration was evident on the outside, but the most serious problem was that of frost damage within the wall cavities fed by moisture from the inside of each...

This final report describes work carried out on the equilibrium and stability properties of circular accelerators. A rigid-disk beam model in which the fields are treated exactly is used to study linear instabilities. This approach has uncovered an important inductive effect which at high toroidal mode numbers leads to either stability or to a hybrid instability. A corresponding effect has been found in electron-layer geometry. The new theory also shows that moving the equilibrium position...

Much of the recent research into the mechanisms and causes of cancer has dealt with the genetic aspects of carcinogens, particularly on somatic cells. Organic compounds that invade the body are usually metabolized and excreted; however, a small percentage react with DNA and other cellular macromolecules. If the damaged genome is not repaired, mutations may result that occassionally lead to malignant transformation. Because of the cost (both time as well as monetary) of testing animals,...

The relaxation times increase with temperature, as expected, but were found to be essentially independent of concentrations. the alkylammonium ions give rise to consistently shorter...

Cells induced to accumulate the p53 tumor suppressor protein have been shown to arrest in G1. This arrest is characterized by accumulation of the cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p2l (WAF1/CIP1) and of underphosphorylated forms of retinoblastoma protein (pRB). We show here that accumulation of the wild-type pS3 protein in either human or murine cells markedly increases expression of cyclin Dl. The induction of cyclin Dl can also be mediated by a target of p53, the p21 (WAF1/CIP1)...
